    Really? Did you disinfect the car and yourself after touching it?
    I had one sent to me by a family member in a tissue box. They slit it open enough to slide the car into between the tissues and sent it like that. None were used thank goodness.
    I don't have to wonder where the guy was sitting when he was getting ready to send it to you.

    I asked my wife to help me find the blue Range Rover when she went to Safeway. She couldn’t find it, but I found it at a different grocery store, but she was really nice and ordered me the yellow one off of Amazon and now I have two.

    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.




    I'd put a ring on that.... sounds like a keeper

    Got this Para64 Hilux yesterday. Pretty happy with the amount of detail on the truck.

    That's a creative way of sending stuff lol. I've had people send me HW's in padded envelopes that by some sort of miracle the Hot Wheels still arrived without damage to the card or car.

    I have been working on some dioramas to display my offroad collection. What do you think? Let see some other dioramas.EECF5F0B-3D26-47FF-8064-0439C9CCF950.jpg5EBE3E5B-63AF-4DD1-A3B2-2652322BE51B.jpg

    The Mall is where my life size offroad trucks spend there time. Figured these could play in the dirt. :)

    Para 64 are really cool. Mini GT and Johnny Lightning are also worth a look.

    I have a small MiniGT collection too, Johhny Lightning has been hit or miss for me, I don't like how their wheels are misaligned at times. Have you looked into inno64? I have a couple cars from them and same as Para64 the details are pretty good.

    I don’t have room for the cars never mind a diorama. Looks great though!

    Both of these are Johnny Lightning. One problem with them is they do not roll, but they are not advertised as such—rather being “diorama” grade. So I’m not sure if that’s really a big problem.

    The detail is good, but as you can tell some of the “mud” is over painted on the back quarter panel on the Gulf.

    They are sold as a “Land Cruiser.” Specifically they are 43 types but I think when you order them they are listed as an FJ40… which they are not.

    This is a Para 64, it’s pretty well painted for the price.

    I’ll have to look into Inno 64.

    Since the kid's taste in cars is narrowing, and he is old enough to tell me what he likes now I am starting to thin out the stuff I already have, that he isn't interested in. Before I waste the time on Ebay here you go.
    I've done a small amount of research to make sure I'm not over pricing anything, but honestly that was mostly eBay sold auctions to see last 60 days history.

    If you buy it all lets say $65 and Ill ship it for free. Saves you like $10-$12 bucks.

    [​IMG]

    These are up on Ebay, as the prices are too high to not try and sell there.. but if someone is interested i listed them higher on ebay

    $75 85 2nd gen prelude SI w/attachable parts mirrors/spoiler( I know right... but hard to find in white, and not sold in US)

    [​IMG]

    $35 ea for these

    I remember getting stuck in a department store in Bangkok and just hanging out at the Tomica section buying weird JDM cars and trucks.
